It took me a while to get used to this new environment, and during that time I began to learn how to live with others. Whenl look back I see myself as a stubborn child, unwilling to accept the advice of others because I fthought that I knew better. Over the years I developed mentally and physically. I have gained much from my life at Pickering, yet I know that because of my stubborn streak and quick temper I have lost a lot. Pickering opened a new field to me, both in aitihletics and academics. As I matured, I realized the importance of a sound education and I endeavoured to procure one for myself, Now I feel that Pickering and I have built, together, a sound base for my future education. I feel a certain reluctance about leaving Piekeringg in fact, this was the feeling I had when I first left home. I know my departure is inevitable because I have gathered most of what has been offered me and now I must strive for higher levels. 1 will always regard Pickering as a home away from home-a place to which I will be forever indebted. Actually it is not only we who are at Pickering, but also those who have gone this way before me, who make Pickering what it is i . I will try my best to take the knowledge which I have gained here and apply it throughout my life. Thank you, my College. - JIM KING The Anna Belugin Memorial Prizes HEsE PRIZES, established in 1956 by Mr. A. N.
